Nvidia says its Nintendo Switch 2 chip benefited from '1,000 engineer-years of effort' claiming a 10x performance bump with DLSS and dedicated ray tracing silicon

Nvidia has published a blog post bigging up the performance and technical prowess of a new 'custom' processor in the Nintendo Switch 2. Nvidia says the new chip—which has not been named—offers 10 times the performance of the Nvidia chip in the original Switch, though that claim is entirely non-specific.Notably, Nvidia isn't providing any details about how that performance comparison is made. What's more, Nvidia has also said the new chip enables DLSS upscaling powered by an AI algorithm. Therefore, going on past Nvidia marketing, specifically the claim that the new RTX 5070 desktop GPU provides comparable performance to the old RTX 4090, Nvidia may be comparing the new chip running with upscaling to the old chip rendering natively.Nvidia says the new processors benefits from, "1,000 engineer-years of effort across every element," and features, "an NVIDIA GPU with dedicated RT Cores and Tensor Cores for stunning visuals and AI-driven enhancements."However, there's no indication of what...
